The north is clamoring for an ex-
ira session of the legislature for the
purpose of Reproducing the state
for legislative purposes, and
certainly the north has reason to
feel that it is suffering great injustice
in the matter of representation. 1t is
entitled to an increase and the Gov
ernor would be. justified in giving
them an opportunity for gettingit by
calling the Legislature together in
extra session for that purpose. Min
nesota ought to have annual sessions
Of the Legislature any way, for years
to come. The idea that a rapidly
developing state can have its require
ments fully met by forty or fifty
day session of its legislature once in
two years IS preposterous. Annual ses-
sions of unlimited duration are re-
CURED. s

OUR MARKET.

1t is unfortunate for Sank Centre
that no better wheat market is af.
fOrded the farmers living in this vi
cinlty. They would all prefer com.
ing here to transact their business
and purchase their supplies, provid-
ing they could sell their grain to
equal advantage with neIghboring
markets. Melrose is Overlooking
Sank Centre by several cents this
season. land there seems to be no good
reason why such should be the case.
If Melrose buyers can pay IS cents per
bushel and give generous grade,
so ought Sank Centre. The buyers
are not conducting losing business
just for the fun of it. TO be sure,
Melrose has a good mill running on
full time. Sank Centre has an
equally good mill, but it has not
turned wheel since the new crop
was harvested. This valuable prop.
erty, which ought to be taking ad-
vantage of the present favorable
condition of the -four market, stands,
ghost of departed enterprise. This
ought not so to be. The mill is cap
able of doing very profitable bust
ness and being an element of pros
perity in the village, rather than an
incubus.
This property is in the market at
what is said to be fair price-can-
not a syndicate be formed to pur.
chase it and set its dusty machinery
in motion. If the Melrose mill Can
be profitably operated twelve month s
in the year, and from twelve to twen-
ty-four hours in the day, why not
this one?
1t seems to be universally conced-
ed that the stagnation in the wheat
market is seriously affecting bust.
ness, and that the mill is in a great
measure responsible for such stagna-
ton.
Whatever way is best calculated
to change the status of affairs shoul d
be considered by our business men

How y &C. Ca" CURED

BY taking Hoods sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. Some of these
cures are really wonderful. If you suffer from
scrofula, be sure to try Hoods SarsapariIla.
"Every spring my wife and children have
been troubled with scrofula, sores breaking
out on them in various places. My little boy,
three years old, has been terrible sufferer.
Last spring he was one mass of sores from head
to feet. Twas advised to use Hoods Sarsapa-
rflla, and we have all taken it. The result
is that all have been cured of the scrofula,
my little boy being entirely free from sores,
and all four of my children look bright and
healthy" W. B. ATHERToN, Passaic City, Nd.
